Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, including its effect on openness
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- if the proposal is inappropriate, whether any harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances required to justify the proposal
What decided it
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and harm to openness, to which substantial weight was given, was not clearly outweighed by the moderate benefit of housing delivery and other limited benefits, such that very special circumstances do not exist.
